Buffer Zone

We call the space we maintain between us a “Buffer Zone” but this space also exists between fact & fiction and between memory & imagination. Somewhere in the middle is the truth.

Told through colorful pen & ink illustrations and narrated through the protagonist’s thoughts and memories, this is a hilarious journey inside the mind of a waiter on the verge of a breakthrough or a breakdown. This award winning graphic memoir is a character study of social anxiety, a darkly comical look at food service and an examination of growing up in Midwest America in the 80’s and 90’s.
